Minimally Invasive Non-Dissecting Technique Otoplasty for Prominent (Bat) Ears Deformity
Prominent ears are an inherited problem affecting 1-2% of the population (although its diagnosis is
somewhat subjective and this figure depends on what is considered to be a prominent ear). It may be
unilateral or bilateral and arises as a result of lack (or malformation) of cartilage during primitive ear
development in intrauterine life. The ear subsequently has abnormal helical folds or grows laterally. The
psychological distress caused by prominent ears can be considerable. Otoplasty can be done around the
preschool age to correct the deformity. In this study, a minimally invasive non-dissecting technique under
local anesthesia was described for correction of prominent ears in twenty-three adults. The technique was
shown to be a rapid, safe, easy, and effective and with good satisfactory results for both the patient and the
surgeon.
